Review by Michael_Foley ★★★★½

This was so funny and Brian Murphy was so funny as Morris. Also This is the first in the Booze Cruise trilogy Watched this on ITV3 in the UK. 4.5/5

Review by Ioan Ings ★★

ITV really know how to make movies

Review by Jamie Lawson ★★ 1

Clunes Day, Round 2! Much like Staggered, this was (thankfully) a lot less laddy than it sounded....no one even gets drunk, although Clunes (in his moustache era) does buy 96 bottles of champagne. Another v gentle Sunday night on ITV sort of affair, and tbh if you're into that kind of thing - which I'm not - you could do a lot worse. Can't believe Chloe/Britney would do that to poor young Ben Whishaw, glad he ends up getting his Before Sunset on (spoilers? Ah who gives a fuck).

Review by lsmith145 ★★★★

You can’t go wrong with a film called “The Booze Cruise.” This world wouldn’t be the same without British comedy

NEWS... BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

The ultimate booze cruise is a luxury liner that carries more plonk than people

Share this with

Imagine relaxing on your balcony, sipping a glass of vino , as the quaint towns and villages on the banks of the River Danube pass by.

And what happens when your glass is empty?

Well, you can simply order another. And another. And another.

Riverside Mozart, a Riverside Cruises ship , prides itself on it’s culinary offerings. Everything, even the jam, is made from scratch, and the last thing the crew wants is for its guests to go hungry – or thirsty.

The boat sails with approximately 3000 bottles of wine on board. With a maximum capacity of just 162 passengers, that’s more than 18 bottles of wine each.

Even the ship’s longest route – which sails on the Danube for 9 days from Austria to Germany – would mean, at maximum capacity, each guest could technically drink two bottles of wine each, every day of their holiday.

Vote to win a cruise

Do you love cruising? Are you an intrepid traveller? Maybe you just like looking at pictures of luxe ships. No matter which, we want you to vote!

Metro has partnered with the Sailawaze Excellence Awards , highlighting the very best in cruising when it comes to sustainability, wellness, entertainment and beyond.

And we need YOU to simply select what you’ve been most impressed by.

The best bit? By voting you’ll automatically be in with a chance of winning a cruise for two worth £2,500.

Say bon voyage to the more traditional categories of ‘best large ship’ or ‘best luxury cruise line’ and instead ahoy to innovation, food and drink and showstopping performances.

Vote for your favourite here .

So if you thought a booze cruise was all about dancing to Europop while downing miscellaneous shots, you need to think again.

The impressive wine collection on board Riverside Mozart is stored in a private dining room, known as the Vintage Room, and there are more than 120 different wines to choose from.

If your party chooses to dine in the Vintage Room, you’re in for a decedent experience. The chefs create a memorable menu, with wine pairings selected by the Head Sommelier.

After dinner, you can then move into the Palm Court, where you’ll be serenaded with the musical stylings of Mozart (of course) played on a grand piano.

If you fancy somewhere with a more bustling atmosphere, the ship also has Waterside, a fine dining restaurant, Marketplace, where you can select a buffet breakfast, Blue Bar Grill for a casual lunch, Vista Grill & Bar which boasts food with a view, and Bistro, a quaint coffee house.

Of course, it’s not just the food that’s five star. How does personal butler service and a floating spa sound?

And the suites will be bring any London renter to tears. The largest on offer, the Owner Suite, has two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a living room, complete with a fireplace.

And, you can kick back and relax as the crew washes and irons your laundry – free of charge.

But, luxury service (and all that booze) comes with a luxury price tag.

For a five day trip in August on the ‘Danube Highlights Westbound’ cruise, which takes you from Budapest to Hungary, staying in the Owner’s Suite, with premium board, including excursions, will set you back a whopping £13,094.

The ship is nominated in the Food and Beverage category of the Sailawaze Excellence Awards – how does it shape up among its fellow nominees?

Explora Journeys is nominated for its 11 culinary experiences, the most in ‘ultra-luxury’ cruise, all offering wellbeing, vegetarian, and plant-based dishes, plus refined in-suite dining from each eatery. It also boasts a sushi bar plus sakes and shōchū, alongside celebrated guest chefs.

Windstar Cruises is the official cruise line of the James Beard Foundation, and guests can accompany chefs to local markets. It’s also hosts the first plant-based cruise.

Celestyal’s nomination shouts out its 15 bars across a two-ship fleet, with a specialist Alchemy cocktail menu with 23 innovative cocktails – and alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages provided with all meals.

Cruise line Cunard shared its partnership with chef Michel Roux for Queen Anne’s dining, where he designed Queens Grill restaurant’s Gala Evening menu. The nomination also includes its Golden Lion pub dining revamped with exclusive dishes by Roux.

Then there’s Virgin Voyages’ first-to-sea Korean BBQ, its 24/7 diner and Michelin-starred chefs and 20+ unique eateries, while Aqua Expeditions was nominated for its chef-hosted departures and Peruvian-Japanese Nikkei cuisine.

Also with its vegan offering, P&O’s nomination includes its Vegan restaurant Green & Co, with signature dishes and drinks including Kombucha-infused Beetroot, Chakalaka Wellington, Sakura and Lavender cocktail.

In a stacked category, Regent Seven Seas Cruises has 128 culinary-focused shore excursions in the Mediterranean, with a new Epicurean Perfection immersive programme of tastings, deck-top regional barbecues, cooking classes, plus 130 new exclusive dishes on Regent’s latest ship Seven Seas Grandeur.

And then there’s TUI River Cruises’ experiential events, from seasonal top deck BBQs, to ice cream parties, murder mystery afternoon teas and gala dinners with singing waiters, plus full board or all-inclusive packages.

Did you know

• Trivia When the group gets lost and are looking at the sign-post, Rob (Neil Pearson) makes a big thing about not being able to pronounce "Wymondham". In fact, Pearson knows perfectly well that it is pronounced Windham: he went Woolverstone Hall school and there he regularly played rugby and other sports against Wymondham College.

[at the crematorium, Grace has invited all the funeral guests back to her house]

Leone : Are you going back?

Cath : Yes, but not for long. We've got things to do, haven't we, Dave.

[Cath gives Dave a coy look]

Dave : Yeah.

Leone : She still got you at it, Dave?

Dave : Oh yes.

Cath : Don't be like that. A lot of men would kill to have as much sex as you're having.

Dave : A lot of men would *die* having as much sex as I'm having.

Cath : Well, it's your own fault.

Dave : Why's it my fault?

Cath : [to Leone] He's got low motility.

Leone : Oh, what's that?

Cath : It means he's got lazy sperm.

Dave : I haven't.

Cath : You have.

Dave : [shouts] There's nothing wrong with my sperm.

[funeral guests turn round and stare]

Cath : They're just like him - big lazy buggers. They should be whizzing about all over the place. Instead of which they're lying on the sofa watching Match of the Day.
